Bringing Data Protection into the Boardroom

Escalating cyber threats compromise businesses and their data regularly. As recent news reports indicate, even leading firms like Clorox and SolarWinds are vulnerable to cyber attacks – and potentially the reputational and legal fallout associated with disclosure. For those in the manufacturing space, the threats are heightened: theft of intellectual property offers cyber criminals significant benefits; complex supply chains offer a plethora of sensitive data from a variety of sources; and the industrial control systems that are key to manufacturing also contains much data that are prime targets for theft. The question is no longer “will we face a ransomware or other cyber-attack,” but “when will our company face this challenge, and how will we respond?” To safeguard manufacturing businesses, cyber resiliency and readiness are critical. But who champions these efforts, ensuring that data and systems can be protected and recovered should the worst occur? Join us as we examine the current threats to manufacturing companies and unpack why it’s so critical that a C-suite executive champion cyber resiliency and security.
